H. Reflection:
1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach? I think the easiest part of the lesson will be teaching them that a consumer is simply someone who purchases items. 2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach? The most challenging may be for the students to understand the role that a consumer plays in the economic picture. 3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? I will follow this lesson up the next day by teaching them what a producer is and how both work together. 4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? I would have these students work with a peer tutor first and then if still having trouble I would work with them personally. 5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? I thought the lesson might have been better if I did consumer and producer together but in order to get the full 7 lessons in they were separated. 6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? It was difficult for me to find interesting activities and resources that just dealt with the consumer as most was lumped together with producer .
